Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport Evacuated, Entrances Closed

All roads into Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport were closed early Thursday for a “law enforcement investigation” outside Terminals 2 and 3.

The airport was evacuated and planes full of passengers were stuck on the tarmac.

“Disruptions to airport operations may be possible and travelers are advised to check with their airlines for the latest flight status before coming to the airport,” FLL announced on Twitter about 90 minutes prior.

Travelers were contacting airlines via social media trying to get information on their flights and reservations.

The 595 exit on Interstate 95 was closed as of 6:45 a.m.
